thanks for that i did email them and they said it is for corvette fitment it looks a lot differant to mine
pic of mine with a streatched belt it is siting on the stop
as you can see my pulley doesent stick out from the block on a bracket and the spring housing on theres looks very much like a stock one ?
so my be just a diff bracket with a stock spring cage witch i can by here

going by the pic you need a new or smaller belt, as the tensioner is all the way back against the stop and that will be whats rattling.

no its not thats a pic of it WITH A TO LONG A BELT
that harrop sent in the kit it has a 40mm shorter belt on now and the adjustment is 99% the other way
yes it did rattle like **** with the long belt never even drove it with that belt

Dayco has a lot of tensioners here:

These are their heavy duty versions and are built to last 1M miles. I have used some of their pulleys in my build and they are high quality.

do you want a spring tensioner? katech makes a really nice billet peice that eliminates the spring and prevents the belt deflection and belt throwing

red 454

no i dont want a solid one plenty of them over hear
i want a spring loaded one we have proved here that the belt stays tighter (less slip) with a spring loaded one when the belt stretches under WOT the solid one lets the belt slip
you would have to tighten it up at wot and then it would be to tight at idle
and they are very hard on the bearings on the blower drive and the other pulleys bearings

The one in the picture above is probably a Dayco unit modded to fit. I don't have an LSx P/N. You have to find a friendly parts guy and look at his Dayco catalog for more details.
